Sky Fortune City, Marshal Quarters –
The residence of the Marshal had been surrounded for over a month by soldiers, and even the servants were not allowed to leave. But now, within a quarter of an hour of Yang Zhen's death, the officials who had realized the great change that would sweep the nation instantly raised the house arrest order for Qin Xiao.
Undoubtedly, Crown Prince Yang Lin would return and ascend the throne. As for Qin Xiao, he would be restored to his position as one of the highest officials, and his status would be even scarier than in the past.
During this time, anyone who did not try to curry favor with the two would become stupid.
Qin Xiao was surrounded by many officials who came to the Marshal Headquarters. They discussed plans to pave the way for a smoother future.
Even those who accompanied Qin Xiao received high respect. Even the nobles dared to disrespect them. These nobles constantly referred to them as 'brothers' or 'old masters' in case they were deemed disrespectful.
Especially the nobles who defected to Yang Zhen's side earlier. They were all in absolute fear, and they all hoped that they could cut off their hearts and let Qin Xiao know the depth of their newfound loyalty.
It should be known that in power struggles, the winning side is often involved in bloody purges. As for all who followed Yang Zhen, they might as well be annihilated.
In this situation, how could they not be afraid? They all wanted to take Qin Xiao as their own father and glorify him in the same way.
When Qin Xiao and the group of nobles who followed him entered through the gates of the Qin residence, they saw the huge Vermillion Bird flying into the courtyard. Its brilliant red feathers burned with flames as it sent out a pulsing aura; all the throats of the nobles twitched as they stared at this incredible creature.
"Mastering! Master it! Master Lin has brought Young Miss back, they are waiting for you in the backyard. "A middle-aged servant said.
"Xingxuan ..." Qin Xiao trembled, and his heart was filled with waves of emotions. He thought that he would never have the chance to see his precious grandson again. But who knows that in just one night, the situation will change a lot.
Qin Xiao followed the servant to the backyard. The other nobles stayed. They are aware of their own status. What kind of existence was Lin Ming? How could they possibly have the qualifications to see it? To someone like Lin Ming, nobles, nobles, or even emperors themselves were nothing but clouds of smoke, only meaningless existences.
Because of this, these people casually greeted the housekeeper and sat in the lobby, drinking tea, and chatting with each other.
………………
"Grandfather!"
As soon as Qin Xiao entered the backyard. Qin Xingxuan cried loudly and threw herself into Qin Xiao's embrace. He was anxious about his grandfather's condition for over a month. Now that he saw his grandfather safe and unharmed, Qin Xingxuan could not suppress all the pain and worry he had endured until now; tears were flowing down his cheeks like strands of crystal beads.
"Grandfather is fine. '' Qin Xiao patted Qin Xingxuan on the back. At this age, Qin Xiao had already gone through many violent storms. In this world, there were very few that could cause Qin Xiao to feel extremely sad or happy. Now, what Qin Xiao was worried about was only his Qin Family legacy, as well as his most precious children and grandchildren.
Qin Xiao looked at Qin Xingxuan, his eyes full of grandfather's love. Having such an amazing grandson was truly a blessing from heaven.
Qin Xiao glanced at Lin Ming. Towards this extraordinary young man in front of him, Qin Xiao was unsure of what to feel. Gratitude, happiness, fear, admiration.all sorts of emotions intertwined in the same place. Qin Xiao did not even know what he should call Lin Ming.
Before this, he had received word that the current Seven Profound Martial Master had been killed by Lin Ming in an instant.
The young and respectful young man before him was a man that even the Great Seven Valley Master had to pay three points of respect! This was a level that had already surpassed Qin Xiao's comprehension.
He hoped that he could urge Qin Xingxuan and Lin Ming to get married. But, this kind of matter was not something he could ask. He no longer had the ability to organize or manage the life of his granddaughter.
"Marshal Qin, please catch up with Xingxuan. I'll go away for a minute. '' Lin Ming bowed like a respectful junior, and then left the room …
………. .
Outside the room, a middle-aged servant was waiting for him.
"Master Lin, there's someone waiting to see you. ”
"See me? I thought I said I didn't want to see anyone? '' Lin Ming did not want to see the nobles of Sky Fortune City. All they wanted to do was kiss her and shower her with gifts, she had no interest in any of this.
"Well ..he said he was your old acquaintance. ”
"Old acquaintance?" The first thing Lin Ming thought of was Lan Yunyue. However, when he saw who he was, he was somewhat surprised. The one waiting for her was a delicate-looking young girl who had elegance.
This is Bai Jingyun.
Bai Jingyun and Murong Zi were referred to as the Seven Pair Proud Pair, and they were also top figures in the Seven Mound House Martial. Lin Ming and Bai Jingyun did not have much contact with each other, it was just that he had helped her create some inscription symbols for her previous treasures. Towards Bai Jingyun, Lin Ming did not have a deep impression, and almost forgot who he was.
When Bai Jingyun saw Lin Ming, she faintly smiled and bowed, "Master Lin. ”
Lin Ming was somewhat awkwardly called Mister Lin. He said, “Please look at me like I used to. After all, we used to be fellow disciples. ”
"Mm .. Then I will call you Brother Lin. 'Bai Jingyun smiled,' To be honest, when I first saw Brother Lin enter the Great Seven Martial House, I thought that Brother Lin had unlimited potential to grow. But, I never thought that in just a few years, Brother Lin would have already reached this point … "
It's like a dream.
“Mm, I have obtained some great opportunities. My luck is too good. ”
“Destiny is also part of talent. "Bai Jingyun shook her head, and then looked unsure, as her eyes shone with a strange light," Big Brother Lin, may I ask you something? "
"Please ask . ”
Bai Jingyun hesitated, and then slowly asked, "One and a half years ago ... were you the one who killed Ouyang Dihua?"
There were only a few people in the entire Sky Fortune City who knew the grudge between Lin Ming and Ouyang Dihua. Other than Yang Zhen, the cloaked man, and a few others, no one else was aware.
People did not even know that Yang Zhen had been in a relationship with the cloaked man. They simply assumed that Yang Zhen had the support of some great figures within the Seven Profound Valleys. As for who it was, no one knew.
Bai Jingyun of course did not know. However, he was able to track down some clues and make an estimate. For example, in the past before Lin Ming left the Sky Fortune Kingdom, he had asked his parents to move. The new Martial House master from the Acacia Faction, Ouyang Boyan had once visited the Sky Fortune Kingdom, and after news of Lin Ming's death spread, Yang Zhen began to move against the Qin Family …
This series of events are all related. Bai Jingyun managed to connect them, and therefore she came to ask Lin Ming to verify this.
At this moment, Lin Ming had no reason to hide it. He nodded and said, “I was the one who killed Ouyang Dihua. ”
After Bai Jingyun heard Lin Ming's words, she let out a long sigh. Her eyes were closed gently, and her eyelashes were trembling.
The pressure that had been on his heart and mind for the past year and a half seemed to disappear. Although this matter was now complete, and he had obtained the meaningless truth behind it, he still felt exhausted.
As his eyes opened, Bai Jingyun calmed down once again, "Thank you, Brother Lin …"
Lin Ming shook his head, “No need to thank me. The reason I killed him was because he intended to kill me first. ”
All humans are different. In fact, the Acacia Faction was not so terrible for female disciples. If they could lay down their simplicity and pride, then they would be able to obtain many things they wanted from the Acacia Faction. There were even many girls who only had ordinary talent, but were still considered beautiful, who tried hard to join the Acacia Faction to gain wealth and a longer youth.
Lin Ming sighed, and then took out a pair of pill bottles from his spatial ring. He said, “Senior-apprentice, Sister Bai, from these pill bottles, one for you. As for the others, could you give it to Lan Yunyue if you saw her? These drugs have very mild properties, and if you eat them carefully, it will guarantee that you enter the period of Pulse Condensation … "
Bai Jingyun's talent was considered good in the Seven Profound Martial House. As a martial artist, he also hoped that one day he would be able to break through the Pulse Condensation period. But now, as he looked at this pill bottle, Bai Jingyun did not feel any joy. After experiencing a few things, it was as if he no longer wanted to pursue these things.
Bai Jingyun hesitated and then quietly received a pair of pill bottles. She said, “Nona Lan has been managing her fabric store in the northern end of the city for the past few years. About Brother Lin coming back, he might have already regained consciousness .. ”
Bai Jingyun implied that Lan Yunyue did not want to see Lin Ming. Now that things had changed between them, there was no longer any meaning between them to see each other. It would only make things embarrassing for both of them.
Lin Ming was silent, and then sighed in his heart. Perhaps these calm and peaceful days were much more suitable for Lan Yunyue .. The bottle of pills he gave her could be considered their final karma. From now on, everything between them will completely vanish into nothing …
After Lin Ming said goodbye to Bai Jingyun, he returned to his room alone. He had already told the stewed person that nothing was bothering him, even to deliver food.
Like this, Lin Ming entered the ethereal martial intent and sat in meditation for three or four hours.
When he opened his eyes, it was already night.
Lin Ming stood up and then took out a small jar from his spatial ring. There was a thick red liquid inside this small bottle; this was the blood essence he had taken from Ouyang Boyan as well as Ouyang Boxu!
From the last time Lin Ming touched the Magic Cube with the blood essence of a Houtian master and opened it today, it had been almost two years.
In two years, Lin Ming's strength had reached the extreme Xiantian realm!
All he wanted to know was: could the blood essence of a Xiantian master open the Magic Cube once more?
Lin Ming impatiently wanted to verify this hypothesis.
Lin Ming sadly smiled and then shook his head, mocking himself, “My thoughts are too messy. This mentality is not suitable for opening the Magic Cube … "
The more valuable something is, the more he needs his heart and mind to be at peace. Otherwise, if his heart was driven by greed, it might expose all sorts of flaws in his mind.
Right now, Lin Ming was not too desperate or wanting an inheritance within the Magic Cube. What he wanted the most was to explore the secrets of the Magic Cube. Where'd it come from? Who created it? How was it made? What led him to do?
Lin Ming had always felt that the Magic Cube was alive. It was only that this Magic Cube seemed to stand at the peak of all existences, and looked down on everything with indifferent disdain, including even Lin Ming himself.
This so-called heartless to the entire heavens and earth, regarded all existences as straw dogs; to the Magic Cube, it did not care anything. It was indifferent to everything, and would remain like this despite the changes to the world …
As Lin Ming's mood calmed down again, he took off his clothes, revealing a strange symbol on his left chest. This pattern is the mysterious writing of the Magic Cube …
